Description

1958 Nickel on a Silver Dime Planchet
A Near-Mint Novelty

1958 Jefferson Nickel -- Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet -- AU58 NGC. 2.4 grams. Just enough of the date is visible to identify, with the third date digit showing the shallow curve of a 5 rather than the rounded bowl of a 3. Detail is characteristically mushy, as expected for a nickel struck on a much smaller dime planchet. Bright despite a hint of rub on the high points; perhaps this item was carried as a pocket-piece for a brief time.
